Well it's not so easy now
                         Am
Though it never was back then
     G
We still can't seem to work this out
     F                C
But you can still pretend
           F
And these tattered walls and burning bridges
  C              Am
Quickly start to fall
     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?


VERSE:
 C
I've been to California, man
                     Am
I've seen them city lights
       G
Been stranded in the desert
           F                  C
Scorching days and freezing nights
      F
I'll never understand
            C             Am
Why people try to walk so tall
     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?


CHORUS:
 C         F                    C
Don't you love what you’ve got used to?
        F  G               C
When we u-used to feel so free
           F               C       Am   G
Won't you wait a while in silence, love
  G                F  G  F
Watch it fall with me

VERSE:
 C
Well the old men said the great big apple
                 Am
Is rotten to the core
      G
With Wall Street skimming from the till
      F                  C
While no one minds the store
     F
And how could someone get so low
       C              Am
In a building so damn tall?
     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?


VERSE:
  C
While chunks the size of Delaware
                     Am
Are falling off the poles
      G
Our heads are buried in the sand
      F              C
Our leaders dug the hole
      F
Like junkies hooked on fossil fuel
 C               Am
Headin' for withdrawal
     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?


CHORUS:
 C         F                    C

VERSE;

Now the answers in our heads
                           Am
To the questions that were asked
     G
It boils up from underground
      F             Am   C
And leads us to the past
C      F
To a place that's long forgotten
         C             Am
When we had enough for all
     G                  F               C
How long until there's nothing left at all?

When we try to make our stand
          F               C    Am   G
The hourglass is growing empty now
 G                       F
Just to leave a pile of sand
   F        G  F   G  C
